Nominated for an Olivier Award at last Sunday’s ceremony, the play is set eight months following the death of 116 children and 28 adults during the Aberfan Disaster of 1966.
The Revlon Girl tells the real life story of a group of bereaved mothers who met every week above a local hotel to talk, cry and even laugh without feeling guilty.
At one of their meetings, afraid that people would think them frivolous, they secretly arranged for a representative from Revlon to come and give them a talk on beauty tips.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, director Maxine Evans revealed: “Yes it is true. We’re having meetings at the moment!
“There’s a lot of interest in it which is unbelievable. Neil has penned the screenplay version of it.
“We can’t say anything about it, but yes. People want to make the film and we would love to do that.”
Writer Neil Docking said: “It’s fantastic to be recognised [at The Olivier Awards], but in all truth, the credit goes to these women because they’re the ones who did it night after night.
“They brought that performance every single time.
“Without the six of them it’s just words on a page.”
Actress Charlotte Gray, who plays Sian, told how they were “chuffed” to be nominated at the ceremony.
She said: “It felt absolutely fantastic. We are absolutely thrilled to be here.
“We have done an amazing job with a play written by this amazing man and directed by this brilliant woman.
“A story of the mothers of the Aberfan disaster. We can’t quite believe that we’re here among such brilliant talent and we’re chuffed to bits.”
Actress Michelle McTernan, who plays Marilyn, said that acting in the play is “important” but also “emotional”.
Michelle said: “It’s an absolute rollercoaster but we pay a tribute to those mothers.
“I think it’s just humanity really. It’s about women pulling together, lifting each other up and communities.
“So I suppose the emotion of it is very important.”
She added: “It’s only right that there is laughter through disaster and there is humour as well.
“That’s human nature, that’s how people cope and get through.”
The action in the play takes place on a rainy Tuesday night in a room above the Aberfan Hotel, but a TV adaptation could extend beyond the realms of one room.
